i need some help to lunch external action script file lets say i have this file :

ok then i create new action script page how i can refer the above file script to run in main page of projects in flash cs6 ??
You need to set the Document Class to Basic_Skybox. Make sure the .fla and Basic_Skybox.as are in the same directory.
Here's a tutorial on doing so: http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/quick-tip-how-to-use-a-document-class-in-flash/

i'm building a flash desktop App where the user clicks on a button and opens a SWF file (a game) in a new window, i used a NativeWindow to achieve it, i did the folowing:
var windowOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
windowOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
windowOptions.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;
var newWindow:NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(windowOptions);
newWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
newWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
newWindow.bounds = new Rectangle(100, 100, 2000, 800);
newWindow.activate();
var aLoader:Loader = new Loader;
aLoader.load(new URLRequest(path));
newWindow.stage.addChild(aLoader);
the result is this:
the game doesn't take the whole space available. When i change the "NO_SCALE" to "EXACT_FIT":
newWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
i got this:
it only shows the top-left corner of the game. I also tried "SHOW_ALL" and "NO_BORDER". I got the same result as "EXACT_FIT".
When i open the SWF file of the game separatly it's displayed normally:
any idea how can i display the SWF game as the image above?
The best solution for that is to have the dimensions of your external game in pixel. you have to stretch the loader to fit it in your stage. if you are try to load different games with different sizes to your stage, save the swf dimensions with their URL addresses.
var extSWFW:Number = 550;
var extSWFH:Number = 400;
var extURL:String = "./Data/someSwf.swf";
var mainStageWidth:Number = 1024;
var mainStageHeight:Nubmer = 768;
var aLoader:Loader = new Loader;
aLoader.load(new URLRequest(extURL));
newWindow.stage.addChild(aLoader);
aLoader.scaleY = aLoader.scaleX = Math.min(mainStageWidth/extSWFW,mainStageHeight/extSWFH);
It is not very difficult to figure dimensions of a loaded SWF because it is engraved into it's header, you can read and parse it upon loading. Here's the working sample:
package assortie
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public class Dimensions extends Sprite
{
private var loader:Loader;
public function Dimensions()
{
super();
loader = new Loader;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("outer.swf"));
}
private function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
var aBytes:ByteArray = loader.contentLoaderInfo.bytes;
var aRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle;
var aRead:BitReader = new BitReader(aBytes, 8);
var perEntry:uint = aRead.readUnsigned(5);
aRect.left = aRead.readSigned(perEntry) / 20;
aRect.right = aRead.readSigned(perEntry) / 20;
aRect.top = aRead.readSigned(perEntry) / 20;
aRect.bottom = aRead.readSigned(perEntry) / 20;
aRead.dispose();
aRead = null;
trace(aRect);
}
}
}
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
internal class BitReader
{
private var bytes:ByteArray;
private var position:int;
private var bits:String;
public function BitReader(source:ByteArray, start:int)
{
bits = "";
bytes = source;
position = start;
}
public function readSigned(length:int):int
{
var aSign:int = (readBits(1) == "1")? -1: 1;
return aSign * int(readUnsigned(length - 1));
}
public function readUnsigned(length:int):uint
{
return parseInt(readBits(length), 2);
}
private function readBits(length:int):String
{
while (length > bits.length) readAhead();
var result:String = bits.substr(0, length);
bits = bits.substr(length);
return result;
}
static private const Z:String = "00000000";
private function readAhead():void
{
var wasBits:String = bits;
var aByte:String = bytes[position].toString(2);
bits += Z.substr(aByte.length) + aByte;
position++;
}
public function dispose():void
{
bits = null;
bytes = null;
}
}
I'm making an AS3 platform game. I don't know why but it won't go to full screen...
Here's my code :
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.getTimer;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class PlatformGame extends MovieClip {
// movement constants
static const gravity:Number = .004;
// screen constants
static const edgeDistance:Number = 100;
// object arrays
private var fixedObjects:Array;
private var otherObjects:Array;
// hero and enemies
private var hero:Object;
private var enemies:Array;
// game state
private var playerObjects:Array;
private var gameScore:int;
private var gameMode:String = "start";
private var playerLives:int;
private var lastTime:Number = 0;
// start game
public function startPlatformGame() {
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, startGame);
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
playerObjects = new Array();
gameScore = 0;
gameMode = "play";
playerLives = 3;
}
Do you know what could be the problem ? (I've just put the begining if my code, if you think it's necessary that I put all my code, don't hesitate to tell me)
Read this Adobe documentation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS2E9C7F3B-6A7C-4c5d-8ADD-5B23446FBEEB.html
I am loading an external swf file into a parent swf file.
Previously, I was getting error 1009 and fixed that by using a listener event to add the swf to the stage before running any scripts.
The swf however fails to load completely when embedded into a parent swf as seen in this URL

Here is the code I am using.

If you still need it you can try these two suggestions. Note I didnt know about Zmags and initially assumed that it was your own domain name. That's why I suggested you use the Loader class. It worked for me when I did a test version of a parent.swf' that loaded a test 'child.swf' containing your code. It actually loaded the child swf without problems.
Change from extending Sprite to extending MovieClip
Avoid checking for added to stage in this project
Explanations:
Extending MovieClip instead of Sprite
I Long story short Flash wont like your swf extending Sprite then being opened by a parent loader that extends Movieclip. The ZMag player will be extending MovieClip. It's logical and the docs do confirm this in a way. Whether it fixes your issue or not just keep it MovieClip when using ZMags.
Avoiding Stage referencing in your code..
Looking at this Zmags Q&A documentaion:
http://community.zmags.com/articles/Knowledgebase/Common-questions-on-flash-integration
Looking at Question 4.. In their answer these two stand out.
Reference of the stage parameter in the uploaded SWF conflicting with the publication
Badly or locally referenced resources in the SWF you uploaded which cannot be found
Is it really necessary to have an added_to_stage check in this? If it wont hurt then I suggest dropping the stage_added checking from function slider5() and instead cut/paste in there the code you have from the function onAddedToStage(e:Event).
Hope it helps.
I have a main swf file. It has a simple empty movieclip with instance name mc_external_swf.
Now I use the document class to load an external swf file. The external file loads and is visible, but its dimensions are not fitting inside the movieclip conatiner, some of the stuff from the external swf is overlapping outside of the movieclip container. Look in the image below.
Here is the code used to load the external swf file.
var _swfLoader:Loader;
var _swfContent:MovieClip;
function goToPlay(e:MouseEvent=null):void
{
loadSWF("agameFLA.swf");
}
public function loadSWF(path:String):void
{
var _req:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
_req.url = path;
_swfLoader = new Loader();
setupListeners(_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo);
_swfLoader.load(_req);
}
function setupListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void
{
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
}
function addSWF(event:Event):void
{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
event.target.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadSWF);
_swfContent = event.target.content;
mc_external_swf.addChild(_swfContent);
}
Here is the code of the External File itself - (Of its Document Class)
package

import away3d.cameras.Camera3D;

It might be happening to the away3d library. I have tried to load other swfs but they fit in well. But this swf in particular does not fit in the movieclip container. I think it has got something to do with view3d in away3d but I am not sure.
All the tutorials on Stage3D (or libraries such as Away3D) that i have seen have included the following code in the main class:
public function Main()
{
//wait until stage object is ready
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedHandler);
}
private function addedHandler(event:Event):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedHandler);
stage.align = "TL"; //or use StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; //or use StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
}
It will stop the swf from scaling.
I am making a website in Flash, coded in flashbuilder. Whenever I try to export my code I get the same error again and again (TypeError = see below).
I think the problem has something to do with the stage of my project. Whenever I change the var stageMiddenX = (stage.stageWidth / 2); into var stageMiddenX = 512;, the code works. but I wan't the var to be dynamic.
TypeError
Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at main()
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class main extends MovieClip{
var stageMiddenX = (stage.stageWidth / 2);
var stageMiddenY = (stage.stageHeight / 2);
private var object1:Object1 = new Object1();
private var object2:Object2 = new Object2();
private var object3:Object3 = new Object3();
}
}
The issue here is that stage is not yet available at the time you are requesting it.
You'll want to wait until the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE event is fired before attempting to acccess stage.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class main extends MovieClip{
private var object1:Object1 = new Object1();
private var object2:Object2 = new Object2();
private var object3:Object3 = new Object3();
private var stageMiddenX:Number;
private var stageMiddenY:Number;
public function main(){
if(stage) init(null);
else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init)
}
private function init(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
stageMiddenX = (stage.stageWidth / 2);
stageMiddenY = (stage.stageHeight / 2);
}
}
}
Put the stuff accessing stage into a constructor (assuming this is your document class)..
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class main extends MovieClip
{
public var stageMiddenX:int;
public var stageMiddenY:int;
private var object1:Object1 = new Object1();
private var object2:Object2 = new Object2();
private var object3:Object3 = new Object3();
public function main()
{
stageMiddenX = stage.stageWidth / 2;
stageMiddenY = stage.stageHeight / 2;
}
}
}
